OK so i ordered some basics should be here Monday. I was on the Tein website looking at max drop and it said 2.8 in. front 2.1 in. rear, while the B6 drop numbers were significantly lower. Somewhere around 3 in. front and rear. I'm probably only going to drop my car 2 in., but how low are you guys, and could you go lower on the setup?
*Edit* Also are they adjustable on the car or do I need to take them off to do the final settings after they settle?
i don't know how low you can go, all i know is that you can adjust them on the car, but they are a pain in the ass to adjust

i did 1 finger and half with the tein basic on my car, and once they settle, it will be a finger length all around, which is great for driving, yet looks impressive!!!
I followed the specs in the manual, and after it settles..all the wheels were almost tucked with no to little gap. It looks real aggressive! but If I had time to redo it, I would raise it up a couple more rotations since I had audio equip in the trunk which drops the rear some more. Just depends on how low you want it to be
They are not adjustable on the car, well at least I cant adjust it. Its a PITA!

Thanks, guys. I'm planning on probably going 25 in. fender to ground as well. The only thing is my tires are super low profile so I might want to go a little lower.
